Title: Matthew Tyler Cornick: Surface-Characterization Patents

Introduction

Matthew Tyler Cornick is an inventor based in San Diego, California. His patent work includes methods for using surface-penetrating radar to determine characteristics of a surface. He is associated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and holds 6 patents.

Latest Patents

Cornick’s latest listed patent, “Determining Surface Characteristics,” describes a method for analyzing a surface with a surface-penetrating radar (SPR) system. The system transmits an SPR signal toward the surface and receives a response that includes a reflection from a region associated with that surface. It measures the response’s intensity, phase, or both, then uses those measurements to determine a surface characteristic.

Career Highlights

The described invention focuses on extracting information about a surface from reflected radar signals. By using signal intensity or phase as a basis for analysis, the method provides a way to characterize surfaces through an SPR system.

Collaborations

Cornick’s listed coworkers include Byron McCall Stanley and Beijia Zhang. His association with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology provides an institutional connection for his innovation work.

Conclusion

Matthew Tyler Cornick’s patent portfolio includes work on surface-penetrating radar methods for determining surface characteristics, reflecting his contributions to applied sensing and surface analysis.
